I lived at a place many years ago, and the landlord wanted to increase the rent from 900 to 1300. Which was just a fantasy number for the area. I countered with 1000, because moving is a hassle and it was an ok place. They said no, so we moved.

Then the place was vacant for years afterwards. I always chuckled when I walked past it. Great job, instead of getting a steady income, you try to gouge your tenant and get nothing! Art of the deal level right there.

this is precisely why i gave up on multiplayer PvP games for the most part. the era of casual PvP pubs is long go

And the rampant cheating. Every single game that has more than a few players will have cheaters. Rootkit-as-a-service or not, there will still be cheaters.

You could also actually just use it. Just because it is physically located on the root disk doesn’t mean you can’t add some directories and give your user full access to them.

I usually have a /mnt/scratch, usually on another disk (hence mnt). Or you could make another steam library in /opt/. Steam can have multiple data locations.

The purists might yell at you, but it is your system. If you have space to spare in root use it, just remember what is where if you need/want to reinstall at some point.

Edit: or just nuke the NTFS partition, and use that partition as extra storage. Usually you don’t need that much in root, and if you do you can always symlink to another dir to get around it. Just remember to copy anything that might be useful from the ntfs! User/<foo> has a lot of data, I would copy at least that. Reading ntfs data is not a problem from linux, writing is more hit and miss.

Well, to be fair a lot of people using windows are laughing at microslop too. Just with a few tears mixed into it.
